116. Marble base of a statue inscribed with the name of C. Aelius Gallus.
117. Rock-cut foundation for the colonnade in front of a long stoa, which was
probably the Chalkotheke.
118. 118. Front wall of the Chalkotheke.
119. Doric capitals of poros stone from the early Temple of Athene. These
capitals bear marks of the Persian fire which destroyed the chief
buildings on the Acropolis.
120. Unfinished marble drum from Kimon’s Parthenon.
121. Rock-cut area and foundations of a long building on the east side of the
precinct of Brauronian Artemis.
122. Marble blocks which belong to the base of the statue of the Trojan
horse by Strongylion ; see Paus. I. xxiii. 8.
123. Rock-cut steps leading up into the precinct of Brauronian Artemis, with
holes for stelae along the side of the stairs.
124. Holes cut in the rock to hold 12 votive stelae.
125. 125. Neatly scarped rock with stepped foundations cut to receive the
precinct wall of Brauronian Artemis on the north.
126. Quadrant-shaped foundation cut in the rock, probably for the pedestal
of some group of sculpture.

128. Rounded block of marble, part of a base, inscribed with the name of
Nesiotes.
129. Existing portion of the poros wall of the precinct of Brauronian Artemis.

118. See XI. of Athene Hygieia; cf. 25.
II, III.—See References on Plates 2, 3.
II. Section through the Acropolis from N. to
S. (References on plate).—The section is along
the red dotted line on I. 'I cannot find among
M.’s notes any material for the right-hand or
southern portion of this section ; there is some
material for the northern portion, which is also
used in XII. and XVII. The walls and ter-
racing, D to G, were only visible during the
excavation.
III. Section through the Acropolis from S.
to TV. (References on plate).—The section is
along the red dotted line on I. There is a gap
between I and J, where the line turns at right
angles and runs up the steps into the Brau-
ronian temenos.
Materials for the whole of this section exist
among M. ’s notes.
L. Above the nine rock-cut steps, M. re-
stores seven or eight poros steps to reach the
level of the terrace in front of the Parthenon.
P, Q. The accepted nomenclature, based on
the inscriptions, is Parthenon for P, and
Hecatompedos naos for Q. M. appears on this
plan to indicate some different theory, of which
I find no trace in his notes. See I. 78, 79.
